| So, the first two weeks of classes have come and gone. There are already a few classes that I can tell I am going to struggle in. The main thing I have to do is take things one day at a time and one assignment at a time.
The other thing that made this week :( was the fact that I am now single. Rob and I broke up Friday and it was a bit of a shock but totally the right choice to make. Now that is just one more thing that I get to deal with the first few weeks of school.

| I finished up my last week of work yesterday. It was kind of sad because I have made some great friends there that I will definitely keep in touch with as time goes by. Honestly, this has been one of my favorite jobs to work at because of the people that I got to work with. It was nice to have a job with people that for the most part were very grown up and not petty.
This week (so far) has been full of work and packing. I finally got just about everything packed and ready to go. I am trying to be super organized this time moving in so that hopefully the organization continues for the remainder of the year. I might be getting too organized cause I made a "map" of where I want everything to go so there won't be any confusion in the unpacking of stuff.
Today is the most exciting/busy day of the week I have a chiropractor appointment, which I am so excited to go to because since I stood on my feet all summer my back and legs have been KILLING me, so yay!! Then we are heading to my grandma's house to check out my bike that I had lent to my cousins. Apparently, the gears are rusted and it's pretty busted, so we have to evaluate it's condition and if I'll be able to have it at school this year or not. Then, we have a viewing to go to. We had a family member pass away on Monday so we are attending tonight's viewing so that I can go as well as my parents.
Then Thursday is back to IUP day!!!!!!! I'm super excited!!!!!! I can't wait to see all of my friends again and be able to spend more than random AIM conversations, texts, or phone calls. Plus, I might actually get to see my boyfriend since this summer hasn't really been condusive for that as our schedules have been craziness to try to meld.
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be conducting stuff for SOAR as the new president. This will be my first official act as president and I want everything to flow smoothly but, I'm trying not to stress out too much about it, cause I am a master delegator. 
Then Monday my JUNIOR year starts....wow where did time fly by to??

| Well this week was full of working and trying to pack for college. I ended up being able to pack about 5 totes full of stuff and my garbage cans. No, I really don't have that much stuff it's just me being super organized, and one whole container is shoes....yes I am that kind of a girl.
Friday was possibly the best part of my week. After two weeks of not being able to see each other, we finally got to hang out. We drove to Brookville PA to eat at a fabulous buffet then back to his place to just relax and chill with each other.
Saturday I packed some more.....watched 17 again (surprisingly good movie). Then I had to work a lame 4 hour work shift 4:30-8:30. I called my 'rents afterward to see if they needed anything from the store. They were at my G-ma's house playing poker and invited me and my change down. I ended up being the big winner of the night as my stacks of nickels, dimes, and quarters doubled in size.
Sunday I had a day off and I enjoyed it by eating breakfast with the family and going shopping with Rob. Then, I was going to do some more packing but yeah that didn't happen.
So this week will be my last full week of summer work, packing, and trying to figure out stupid loans.

| Haha, now I'm going to attempt to keep this updated weekly. Probably when I get back to work I will have more to talk about but for now my life is pretty dull. This week flew by pretty quickly with a lot of work and a lot of spending time with Morgan(the dog)
So my parents went on vacation with my mom's family (10 others) to a cabin in upstate New York for the whole week. They left Saturday night at 11:30 to meet the rest of the caravan at Uncle Donny's. I could tell the week was going to be long because of the quiet house and the fact that they took my car leaving me with the Green Machine (mom's expedition) or the White Slipper (dad's grand am whose transmission occasionally slips). I chose the Green Machine as my weapon of choice to drive back and forth to work. One of my coworkers said that I look like a midget when I drive it :( but I love being the biggest car on the road at times :)
Monday- worked 9-3, well supposedly. I ended up working 9-5:30. Although, they originally told me 5, but I don't mind because that gives me some extra hours to earn money. Came home, ate dinner, and went to sleep. I also spoiled Morgan by letting him sleep in my bed.
Tuesday- Slept in a bit after yelling at Morgan to get back in the bed at 8 am, it was clearly not time to wake up yet. Then spent the rest of the morning/afternoon trying to figure out why Morgan cried every time he moved. Yet, he didn't cry when I would poke and prod him. Work 4:15-9:15. Make plans to hang out with Rob on Thursday (YEA, first time in 1 week)
Wednesday- Slept in, didn't let Morgan sleep with me, although he started crying at 6:45 am. OH NO!!! I was not ready to wake up yet. Ate lunch and cooked dinner for myself and 2 coworkers (chicken alfredo). Went to work 4:15-9:15.Had a slightly amusing night as I unknowingly made a coworker so angry at me that she now gives me a death stare. MWWHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! All she had to get mad at was I got to count down my drawer first because I had been running register all night and she hadn't. She chose to scream over 2 empty lanes and a bunch of customers' heads that "senority should have dictated who came in first (her)". She of course did not use such eloquent of speech.
Thursday- Supposed to hang out with Rob. While on the phone Wednesday night he told me that he ended up having to go into work 3 hours earlier than planned. I was quite disappointed and actually started crying a little bit. I know that sounds lame but I was really looking forward to getting to spend some time with him. I'm going to chalk up the tears to being tired of being alone in this house and just needing a companion. Do absolutely nothing until 4:30 when I start working on packing for college.
Friday- Relaxed during the day, worked 4:30-9:30. I had a great time at work, I was able to work with two of my favorite coworkers and laughing with them when we got really busy. I believe at one point I turned, looked at Casey, and sang with the radio "I Wanna Know What Love Is", complete with cheesy faces and hand gestures. Haha.
Saturday- Have to work again at 9 am after only getting 4 hours of sleep, this should be fun. Halfway through the day I am ready to crawl back into bed. As the day progresses I get more and more slap happy. Around 3:30 I do some more random dancing and laughing with friends at work. Finally, get to leave at 4 pm. Eat dinner, almost fall asleep watching Wizards of Waverly Place in the recliner. I finished laundry and cleaned the house up for the 'rents return.
Sunday- The 'rents wake me up at 6:48 to let me know that they made it home okay. I promptly fall back asleep until 7:45 when I wake up going "crap, I have to wake up and get ready for work". Worked 9-3. Another way long day, the best part of the day was when I took my break and discussed politics with one of the managers. It was quite lively and intriguing. He called Ed Rendell--Ed Spend all hahah loved it. Came home, spent some time listening about the vacation before retreating to the basement for some cooler temps and the ability to stretch out my tense leg muscles.
All in all, my weekend was pretty busy with work and work related things. I did the math and figured out that I was on my feet for about 18 hours over 3 days. EWWW!!!!
Hopefully, this next week goes better, although the way it is looking I won't get to see Rob again this week. I can't wait until we go back to IUP so that we might actually get to spend time with each other.
BTW- here's a picture of me and Morgan

| So this month has been a little bit busy as I've been working and just generally relaxing. I'll try to update you week by week through the month of July so that I don't bore you with repetitiveness and/or I don't miss anything semi-important that I did.
July 1-11 : Really there is only one solid thing that I can actually remember during these days and that is meeting some of Rob's family members on the Fourth of July. It was really fun to get to meet them and finally put faces to names. Two of them thought they had met me before...I joked with Rob that he is only dating me because I look like an ex. He claims that is not the reason why...okay.
July 12-19 : Honestly I think all I did was work, nothing too exciting. That is pretty much what my summer has consisted of. I work about 20-22 hours a week. I might have done something but apparently it was not too noteworthy. Saw the newest Harry Potter- read the book soooo much better.
July 20-24 : Again nothing really too WOOHOO until the 23rd, I got my "new" phone activated. My mom's friend was getting rid of her Envy so I bought it off of her so now I have an awesome keyboard to type texts.
July 25: GEORGE STRAIT CONCERT, this was def. the highlight of my month (besides meeting Rob's fam), my cousin had received tickets from his former father in law and gave them to us because he could not go. When we picked the tickets up we discovered that they were in section 2 row d, basically 6 rows from center stage. It was AWESOME especially since Julianne Hough and Blake Shelton were there too. Check out the pictures on my Facebook. I also have some videos that I will be posting shortly somewhere, either Youtube or Facebook.
July 26-31 : This week has been full of work so far, Sun. Mon. Tues. Wed. next is two days off before working some more. I'm really hoping tomorrow Rob and I can hang out some because that is one thing I really have not had the chance to do this month...hang out with my boyfriend. I even got an "I Miss You" yesterday when we were on the phone with each other. So sweet.
Well that's July in a nutshell. Hopefully August is more exciting.
